Chapter 57 Who's Framing

  Guo Jia never thought that the "traitor" he had been talking about would turn out to be himself?! It was actually Guo Jia who betrayed General He Jin?!

  "Is this true? If it's false, I'll kill you!" Zhang Liao rushed up, grabbed Guo Jia and shouted excitedly.

  Unfortunately, Guo Jia can no longer take back his words now. His own life is at stake, so he hastily said:

  "Of course it's true! If the adults don't believe it, they can send someone to investigate outside the city. By now, some advance troops should have arrived. Or the adults can also find some clues of military movements along the way."

  "That damned He Jin's little brat! I was wondering why he'd been so quiet lately, and it turns out he's been secretly harboring such a despicable idea! If not for...!" Zhang Liao cursed loudly before turning to Guo Jia and saying,

  "You can leave now, remember, no one is allowed to mention today's events!"

  After finishing speaking, he didn't bother with Guo Jia anymore and hastily left. Without thinking, it's clear that Zhang Rang should have gone to discuss important matters with the other eunuchs.

  "Who...?!" Guo Jia rubbed his chin on the spot, "Which bastard is framing me?!"

  He has thought about this matter again from the beginning, and Zhang Letian just left without saying anything. Obviously, Zhang Letian did not find Guo Jia for other things.

  Since it wasn't for other things, but rather He Jin's affairs that Zhang Letian was initially unaware of, what trick was Zhang Letian playing? This seems to be somewhat contradictory, but actually not.

  Think about it, before Zhang Rang didn't answer Guo Jia's question, someone must have secretly told Zhang Rang that Guo Jia knew some important secret related to himself, but that person deliberately didn't tell Zhang Rang what the so-called important secret was.

  Perhaps out of curiosity, or perhaps because he would rather believe it existed than not, Zhang let Guo Jia come.

  Then he started the so-called psychological tactics, which was also Zhang Liao's helpless move, because he didn't know what to ask, so he could only pretend to be knowledgeable and let Guo Jia take the initiative to tell him about it.

  As for the gold, silver, and houses, it can be imagined that if Guo Jia finally said something that was not shocking enough, Zhang Liao would immediately turn against him and kill him. So earlier, Zhang Liao agreed so readily to Guo Jia's proposal because if he ultimately felt that the deal was not worth it, he could easily get his money back.

  At this thought, Guo Jia couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He had to admit that at the time he was still too naive. If Zhang Liao really knew about He Jin's plan to kill them, would he come to confirm with Guo Jia? Wouldn't Zhang Liao send someone outside the city to investigate instead?

  He's so foolish to find someone like Guo Jia with unclear background, isn't he afraid that Guo Jia will tell He Jin about this? If they kill Guo Jia, it might alarm the enemy, but if they don't, there's a great risk. Isn't Zhang Rang putting himself in an awkward position?!

  If Guo Jia had figured out this key point just now, he wouldn't have foolishly spoken it out directly. Of course, this matter can't be blamed on Guo Jia, because apart from He Jin's affair, what else could Guo Jia say?

  If he had really concealed He Jin's matter and fabricated some other things, Guo Jia might have been beheaded by now.

  That is to say, if you want to blame someone, you can only blame the person behind for being too sinister. So Guo Jia thought that there must be someone framing him or wanting him to take the fall.

  That person wanted to let Zhang know about this matter, but didn't dare to speak directly, possibly afraid of leaving evidence or being caught by others, so in the end he pushed Guo Jia out. As for whether he intentionally found Guo Jia or coincidentally found him, it is unknown.

  A gentleman does not stand under a precarious wall; this place is not suitable for a long stay!

  Guo Jia put aside his thoughts for the time being and didn't bother to respond to Zhang's words, nor did he have time to exchange the house that had already been agreed upon. He directly grabbed the two gold ingots on the table, turned around and left.

  At this time, Guo Jia really wanted to take advantage of the situation and steal a few more small items. He was very aware that even a tea cup here could be worth more than his gold ingot, but unfortunately, it would be difficult to sell such stolen goods. Guo Jia had no choice but to give up on this idea.

  ······

  Followed by the eunuch, he returned along the original road and re-entered the horse-drawn carriage.

  "Are you free tomorrow?" Guo Jia asked, and suddenly sniffed with his nose, "What smell?"

  "Ah!!" Before the words had even fallen, Ming Er's little maid suddenly let out a sharp cry and rushed over like a madwoman, covering Guo Jia's mouth and nose with her hands.

  Guo Jia was really startled by Ming Er's behavior, is this treason? But although Guo Jia was weak and timid, he wouldn't let a little girl like her suffocate him to death.

  As expected, Ming Er was quite vigorous at first, but afterwards didn't exert much effort. Now, on Guo Jia's body, he had a rather precarious feeling, as if riding a tiger and finding it hard to get off.

  "Master, I..."

  "Take your hand away." Guo Jia spoke up, although his voice was somewhat hesitant in Ming Er's palm, it could still be heard clearly.

  "No!" Ming Er shook her head desperately.

  Kuo Chia rolled his eyes in annoyance, "I've already smelled it."

  "Wah~~" But tomorrow suddenly burst into tears.

  Upon seeing this, Guo Jia hurriedly comforted him, "Actually, it's nothing. To be honest, if possible, I also really want to do it. Tomorrow you actually did what I only dared to think but not dare to do."

  As a result, the little maid cried even more violently, probably because Guo Jia's comfort had completely backfired.

  In this way, Guo Jia didn't dare mention this topic again.

  What's the big deal? Can't hold it in, then don't dare to communicate with outsiders, and finally pee in this train carriage. The little girl is just too shallow. Just like Guo Jia said, if possible, he really wants to pee on it to vent his anger!

  "Alright, alright, look at this, what is it?" Guo Jia suddenly pulled out two gold ingots with a sleight of hand, instantly shifting the topic.

  "What is this?!" Ming Er, still in tears, couldn't help but exclaim. Indeed, since ancient times, things like gold and diamonds have had a fatal attraction to women.

  "How's that, impressive, right? I've said it before, relying on just the allowance for being a soldier is not enough. We have to rely on me, Young Master, taking action myself, and suddenly we won't have to worry about food or clothes!" Guo Jia said with satisfaction.

  "Master, how did you get this?" Ming Er couldn't help but ask, and at this time, she was indeed a little worried that Jin Yuanbao might have been brought back by Guo Jia through some underhanded means.

  "Do you know what place this is?" Guo Jia asked mysteriously.

  Tomorrow's eyes turn around

  "Could it really be an imperial palace?"

  "Clever." Guo Jia tapped the little maid's nose.

  "That's the Emperor looking for you, Young Master?!" Ming Er exclaimed in a low voice, which was exactly what Guo Jia had thought from the beginning.
